Spring into a wonderful mud-season getaway
 By Tim Jones
  So we wandered over some very 
soft and rutted dirt roads to
Windy Willows Farm (802-635-7300) in nearby Johnson. This is a working farm which raises grass-fed beef and offers trail rides year round. Robbin Miller, the owner of Windy Willows, set a leisurely pace for a couple of hours of riding along cart roads and woods trails. The pace was not too hard on our ski-wearied legs, and just right for enjoying the fabulous views across the Lamoille Valley to Butternut Mountain. Though we looked for her, we didn't find the mother moose and her twin calves who haunt the area. 
Maybe next time.
